Complications for Carbon Uptake Geographical and management dependence of carbon uptake Weather/climate effects on carbon uptake Pollution policy interactions and effects on carbon uptake. Permafrost, methane, carbon, and warming Leads to Some “Rules” for Good Sinks Policy

Preliminary Results: Jerry Melillo, David Kicklighter, Benjamin Felzer, MBL: Acknowledging Francesco Tubiello and Cynthia Rosenzweig (GISS) and NOAA (NA16gp2290) funding of joint GISS, MBL, MIT, IIASA project.

Preliminary Results: Hanqin Tian (Auburn University) Jerry Melillo, David Kicklighter, Benjamin Felzer (Marine Biological Laboratory). NSF (BCS-0410344) and other funding.

Current Ozone Levels (AOT40) Felzer, B., Reilly, J., Melillo, J., Kicklighter, D., Wang, C., Prinn, R., Sarofim, M. & Zhuang, Q., 2004. Past and future effects of ozone on net primary production and carbon sequestration using a global biogeochemical model, Climatic Change, forthcoming.

Rules for Good Sinks Policy Cap NOT Credit (or mandatory baseline if C tax or other instrument) Opt in choice for small land-owners Sell as you sequester, pay as you emit—NO payment for ‘discounted’ tons. By public agency—contractual deals among private market participants can take any form as long as.. Measured quantities NOT payments based on practices. Sequestration very different for same practice depending on location, climate, etc.

Rules for Good Sinks Policy, cont. Permanent liability—once capped, always under cap. But preserve flexibility to emit stored carbon by paying carbon price at the time. Transactions costs (I.e. measurement, verification) borne by the market participants NOT a public Agency symmetric treatment with fossil fuel emitters Enforcement Allow market participants to bank credits for disasters, less than expected results from sequestration NO bailouts or limited liability provisions. Pay for the ‘partial interest’ of GHG emissions sequestration-DO NOT make a big program based on multiple benefits—value and incentivize each benefit separately.
